Heartstrings

We dined in waist-high meadow grass
And watched an eagle make a pass
Above our heads, As though to spy
Upon these strangers, you and I.
The lunch we'd packed to bring along,
You fed to me with bursts of song.
We'd wandered on the dunes all day
And watched the ocean's tidal sway.
We'd walked the beaches and I found
A piece of sea-glass, smooth and round.
It was the color of the sky.
I picked up several shells nearby.

We finally climbed the cliffs to see
A meadow stretch invitingly,
With flowers mingled in between
The hardy types of grasses seen.
We lingered there until the light
Began to fade and racing night,
We hurried down a shadowed lane
to reach our cottage once again,
Where firelight soon warmed the space
And played like fingers on your face.
We sat content for quite awhile.
You plucked my heartstrings, with your smile.>/font>
